*Growing up on the original ''Star Trek'' and ''Battlestar Galactica'', my tastes on "mainstream" science fiction have graduated far from what ''Star Trek'' has become. I use ''[[w:Babylon 5|Babylon 5]]'' as a good writing baseline. | *Growing up on the original ''Star Trek'' and ''Battlestar Galactica'', my tastes on "mainstream" science fiction have graduated far from what ''Star Trek'' has become.

*I attend a few science fiction conventions in the Midwest, and enjoyed one in the south in 2006. I tend to keep a low profile, except when I appear in costume. | *I attend a few science fiction conventions in the Midwest, and enjoyed one in the south in 2006.

I'm nowhere close to enlightenment, but at least I've found a Path. | ||

This is '''very''' impressive stuff, and is free to watch. A must-visit. I'm also very supportive of CBS's reissue of the original ''Star Trek'' with CGI graphics. Normally this might be a formula for controversy (''a la'' the ''Star Wars'' expanded editions), but the combination of the (highly cleaned and clear) live-action with the un-matted graphics that fit precisely with their originally-shot model renderings make watching TOS a new joy. | ||
